Creative Paperclay

This lightweight, air hardening material can be molded and shaped while it's still moist, and after it's dried hard, it can be painted with tempera, watercolor, acrylic, enamel, markers, etc. Use it to create jewelry, dolls, ornaments, miniatures, sculptures, wall hangings, and more.

Creative Paperclay is ideal for schools because it air hardens and doesn't need to be fired in a kiln. This non-toxic clay contains all natural ingredients and can be used by people from all skill levels.

Note — Any combination of clay, plaster, sand, and molding material totaling 50 lbs or more does not qualify for our free shipping offer.

I used this product to alter a motorcycle helmet and make ears. It was smooth, barely cracked, and it dried quickly. The only issue I had was applying it. There's a first time for everything and I know for the next time I use it don't be stingy!

This is the first time I have used paper clay. I only bought a couple pounds because I wasn't sure how my pieces would turn out. This is a great product. The feel of the clay is very nice and the clay holds well while building. It dries well with out cracking. I will definitely buy more for larger pieces

I do a lot of sculpting for a variety of pieces. I like how light weight the Creative Paperclay dries and the smooth finish you can achieve. I find it has a tendancy to crack a little if you dry it in too warm a room or too fast. But I fill the cracks with gesso or glue. I use this product for smaller sculpted pieces and it is great.

I am an installation artist who needed to make about 2000 flowers for an exhibit. Paperclay is so lightweight when it dries that is was easy to keep them together after they dried. I also plan to spray paint them which should be easy to do since paperclay can be painted with anything, even watercolour. I love this material, and I will probably continue using it for other elements of my artwork.
